Welcome!

I'm Tami Parks, fourth-generation entrepreneur and small business person. I love small business and consider it the heartbeat of America's marketplace. My family has been involved in real estate, service, and retail; we're just regular people who have a passion for serving others and being our own bosses.

My husband and I have made a committment to run our business, Great Lakes Wedding Gown Specialists, LLC, as a debt-free business. This blog is our accountability partner!

Gratefulness

It's Thanksgiving Day and I'm relaxing with my family and counting my blessings!

So, why am I blogging about business?

One of the biggest blessings in my life is my business and I'm thankful that God has given me the opportunity to do what I love; bless my customers,and work with a wonderful team of employees and fellow vendors.

I am thankful for my parents, who taught me how to serve customers and the nitty-gritty of fabrics & clothing care while I grew up in the drycleaning business.

I am thankful for my husband, who gives me unmatched support and encouragement.

I am thankful for my beyond-fabulous assistant and manager, Rachel, who keeps September's Bride running!

I am thankful for my entire September's Bride, EVENTS by September's Bride, and Great Lakes Wedding Gown Specialists team... Rachel, Bernice, Sherry, Julie, Mallory, Michelle T., Michelle E., Monica, Megan, and Tania!

I am thankful for each and every customer and bride that God has sent our way.  It's truly an honor to serve!

I am thankful for health, strength, and knowledge that allows me to work.

I am thankful for business associates and fellow vendors who generate a spirit of cooperation and fun in our little area of the biz!
